Streamlines app debugging and inspection with a modular toolkit for managing logs, network traffic, databases, and file systems directly within applications. Offers customizable modules and easy integration.
Debugging doesn't have to be a headache.
Kick simplifies inspection and control across Android, iOS and desktop with a unified, modular toolkit built on Compose Multiplatform. Replace scattered utilities with a single customizable solution embedded right into your app—no more juggling separate tools, no more command-line headaches.
Effortlessly manage logs, network traffic, SQLite databases, file systems and multiplatform settings directly from within your application. Enable only what you need, easily extend functionality with custom modules and keep your app lean and efficient.
Less complexity, faster development, total visibility. That's Kick.
Kick.initAdd the plugin and enable one module (FileExplorer):
plugins {
id("org.jetbrains.kotlin.multiplatform") version "2.1.21"
id("ru.bartwell.kick") version "1.0.0"
}
kick {
enabledAuto() // or enabled() / disabled()
modules {
fileExplorer()
}
}
Then initialize Kick with one module:
// val context = androidContext.toPlatformContext() // For Android
// val context = getPlatformContext() // For iOS and desktop
// val context = platformContext() // In Compose
Kick.init(context) {
module(FileExplorerModule())
}
enableKick(false) forces stub artifacts in the current Gradle build script (equivalent to disabled mode):
enableKick(false)
-Pkick.enabled=true|false has highest priority and overrides both enableKick(...) and kick { enabledAuto() / enabled() / disabled() }.
Use Integration Wizard to generate ready-to-paste plugin configuration and initialization snippets for selected modules and platforms.
